The OP already said that the new location has no master keys set up in the CEC yet, so no encryption is available there at all. Perhaps the old-fashioned way? IDCAMS REPREO to unencrypted sequential and ADRDSSU DUMP the unencrypted sequential file for DEFINE/REPRO at the receiving end. A bit

Link list allocations from IPL time do not have to hang around forever. There are several ways to remove an allocation. My favorite way is to code two SYS1.PARMLIB members and then just issue two MVS commands to bring them in. Code a PROGLD member with contents: LNKLST DEFINE NAME(LNKLST02) COP
